• Male and female students are required to sit in separate rows in classroom lectures.

Note: If it is possible to separate classes specifically for women and men in a university, and it does not create budgetary or quality issues, classes should be separate.

• In areas of traffic and bulletin postings at universities, if there is a likelihood of congestion, separate areas should be designated for women and men.
• It is necessary for male and female students to utilize laboratories, workshops, anatomy halls, computer rooms, etc., separately and preferably at specific times.
• Male and female students are required to engage in student group activities such as project implementation, design, and practical work in separate groups unless separating genders would disrupt the work or halt it.
• Universities must take measures to prevent unnecessary mingling between women and men in administrative environments as far as possible, so as not to disturb or delay work.
• Male officials must utilize male secretaries.
• In sections of universities where the majority of visitors are male (such as dormitories), it is necessary to employ male staff, and in areas where visitors are female, female staff should be employed.
• Public spaces such as library reading rooms, dormitories, and dining rooms must be separate for women and men, or each gender should use separate shifts.
• Relationships between professors, students, and staff must be in accordance with university regulations and the ethical guidelines of Islam. If anyone observes a violation, they should advise the offenders as per the principle of enjoining good and forbidding wrongdoing, and if their advice is not effective, they should report the matter to the university authorities.
• Women in the work and study environment must adhere to Islamic dress code and avoid wearing tight or provocative clothing, as well as excessive makeup and embellishment. Likewise, men should avoid inappropriate clothing.
